SLP Vocab 101

As speech-language pathologists, we spend lots of time in school (typically 6 years) and learn so much. Once you're out of school, you really want to just use all of that wonderful information (and confusing vocabulary) that you spent so much time (and money) learning. The words we learn become a part of our lives. We use them so frequently that they become ingrained in us. They become so common and routine for us that we forget that not everyone knows what we're talking about!

So, I created a basic SLP vocabulary hand-out for parents, a cheat-sheet if you will.

I work as a school based speech-language pathologist in New Bedford, MA. I work primarily with students in preschool and kindergarten. I'm also the mom of a very sweet little boy who takes up much of my free time.
